Verify command
You might say: validate script, single gate, local CI
One command that runs every check the repository requires, the same way on a laptop, on a runner and in CI. An agent runs it before it says a change is done.
- What it does
- Gives every run one fast, trusted answer to whether the checks pass, with no guessing about which checks count.
- Ask
- Is there one command, and does CI run exactly the same checks?
What to look for
- A validate or verify script named in AGENTS.md
- CI jobs that run the same command or the same list of checks
- A pull request that reports the command's result

npm run validate is the single authoritative local gate.

Local npm run validate remains the authoritative single-command gate.

What helps agents ship quality, in order: unit and integration test suites, typecheck, agents running their own change, a control CLI to drive the app, end-to-end tests, and decision records.

Without feedback on how the code it produces actually runs, the agent will be flying blind.
